The Miracle oftie Century.

1t was ut the Innings counter In
n certain store, and seven women
were seated on the stools In front
of the counter buying Innings, The
patient salesman listened to their
discussions and their monologues,
answered their inquiries, and
patiently changed their orders to
suit their whims. Suddenly Il
blithc yet quiet little lady appear
ed with Il bit of gray chcviot in her
hand. One of the statesmen, who
was waiting for lady in u black
satin gown to determine whether
she would have yard and half
or a yard and three-quarters of
percaline, looked at the newcomer
with an cyoression of mingled in
quiry and relief. He evidently re-
cognized her and hoped to have
the pleasure of waiting upon her.
1t must have been Il pleasure to his
soul, tried with the exasperating
delay with the woman he was serv-
ing.
"Please give me five yards of
English cambrick exactly two
shades darker than this cheviot,'i
said the woman, who knew what
she wanted, "and one yard and
seven-cights Of the second quality
of silesia two shades lighter, and
half yard of haircloth of the
color of cambric. Please take this
50 bill and | will come back for my
change and the things after l have
been to the but tons and trimmings

l had the curiosity to follow her
to the trimmings counter. She
asked for her silk and twist, cotton
braid, shields, and whalebones in
the same quick, exact manner, and
turned around to the buttons count
or while they were being done up.
She asked for the card of sample
buttons, picked out those she want
ed incredibly soon, then retraced
her steps gatheringup her purchases
hs she went, taking parasol from

have the things sent home, and

ment. Tho only comment made
upon her was, "Shc was remark
ably wcll-preserved woman," and
she was then dismissed and forgot
ten, even by her children.
Her sister Jane was ofa different
temperament. She was II plain,
awkward woman, who had so
little cause to be pleased with her
person that very early in life she
forgot it altogether. She married
II poor farmer, was the mother of
q large family of boys, and adopt
ed, besides, two orphans, children
of friends still poorer than her hus-
band.
She worked early and late, sew
ing, cleaning, nursing. Now it was
her husband for whom she toiled,
now the children, now neighbor,
now some poor creature whom no.
| body else cared to help.
She made her flashes of temper,
she made mistakes; she was full of
faults; but she brought them with
bitter tears to her Master and
struggled on.
While her sister was youthful
and placid and smiling, she was
wrinkled and old, her hands hard
with labor. Something of herself
of her thought, her high hopes,
her warm love, her strength,-she
gave to all who came near her.
1t was no wonder that she show
ed how heavy the drain had been
upon her; but husband and child
rem and friends loved her tenderly
in spite of her faults. The hard
rough hands that had worked so
faithfully in their service were the
fairest on earth to them. More
than all, she led her children, one
after another, to the Savior who
was so real and near to her.
When at last, she lay down, sill
ent and still, waiting until God
should summon her to work else
where, there was not man of
woman who had known her who
did not feel that friend and help
er had gone out of the world.
If we would serve God or our
brother we must put something of
ourselves into the sacrifice. 1t is
the hearts blood that must be laid
on the altar, not merely orderly
habits or pleasant words. If we
give all our goods to feed the poor
and our bodies to be burned and
have not that self-sacrificing love,
it profiteth us nothing.-IoutRs

A Republican Survey.

Frank Hatton, First Assistant
Postmaster General under the
Arthur administration, has this to
say of the political outlook for 'SS.
"The man who indulges in the alb
surd talk that the Republicans will
win the next Presidential election
without the shadow of doubt, is Il
political ignoramous, or else he is
fooling himself, and trying to fool
those to whom he talks.
The plain truth is that no Re-
publican candidate can defeat
Cleveland unless he be man who
can get the united Republican
vote. He must be Il man who is
not Il candidate of faction. He
mnst be a man whose private and
public record is without Il flaw. He
must be n man whom all the lead
ers-Sherman, Conkling, Hoar,
Blaine, Cornell, Plat, Reid, Medill,
Morton, Miller, Allison, Lincoln,
Gresham, Harrison--and all their
followers will support. A candi-
date who cannot command such
support will stand little chance of
defeating Cleveland, who will start
with II solid South, and who will
need only New York and New
Jersey to elect him.
This is the plain English of the
situation. Republicans might as
well look the facts squarely in tho
face. TO nominate any other man
ncr of man is to invite almost Ger
tain defeat. The brass band anf

If war is to be made of any of the

ton for any man, the Republican
party's tomb stone might as wei
be prepared now, and the inscrip
tion, "Died of Self Abuse" can bt
carved upon it. Another defea
means bankruptcy and receiver
for the organization. The person
al boomer should take back seat
The professional political huckstel
should put his hand over his moutl
and his mouth low i'm the dust
The boaster and the swaggere
should come TO the front. There
are men in the country who could
get the united support of the Re
publican party. Without it NJ
man can be elected.

Xarper's Weekly says: The Ohio
Democratic Convention would seem
to have led the way in presenting
definitely and courageously the
tariff issue, and to have done 1t in II
way that will commend general
attention and wide sympathy. The
present protective tariff is cnormo-
usly high, and produces an imme-
nse surplus. The producers policy
is defended upon the general theory
that ii is favorable to American
labor. But never was that labor
more discontcnted; and under the
enormous taxation of the tariff 1t
has grown steadily more so. This
fact, and the just statement in the
Cleveland platform of the purposes
for which taxes should be laid
IA statement not unlike that made
by so good q Republican as Presi-
dent Arthur--will lead many Re
publicans to reflect whether high
prosperity and contentment, and
whether tho general policy indica-
ted by the Ohio Democrats may
Lot be worth u trial,

has been rather pointedly put as
being one between those who favor
II free, unlaXed sideboard and those
who favor a free, ntaXed ward

of the tariff are for free liquor, and
those who propose to continue the
tax on whisky are for giving the
people free, untaXed clothing in
stead. That's about the size OF it.
